    Importing PADS file in AnsoftLinks

    like I said, for alinks version >5, you need the ECADs translator, for version 4 you need the Alinks Integrator. it will integrate to your layout tool... and you can export it directly to alinks, SIWave, HFSS, Q3D, etc. I dunno if there is a standalone though.

    Importing PADS file in AnsoftLinks

    well... actually, ECADs uses alinks to export to different ansys (previouly ansoft) tools, SIWave and HFSS among others :).

    Importing PADS file in AnsoftLinks

    hi guys, why are you converting to ascii? do you have the ECADS? it is way simple with that :). what other export (convert) options do you have? I used to use the alinks, but since it was replaced with the ECADs...

    Using WiFi antenna for UMTS / GSM ?

    Hi espresso, For typical antennas: WiFi central Freq (fo) is 2.44GHz with a Bandwidth (BW) of 80MHz.... that gives a range from 2.4-2.8 GHz UMTS fo is 1.955GHz with a BW of 140MHz... that gives a range from 1.885-2.025 GHz if the antenna is well designed it will filter the UMTS signals... so...

    question on hfss lumped port

    I was in the assumption that if you want to use lumped ports you need to be in driven terminal and not in driven modal.... maybe switching the mode you can fix your problem.

    DDR3 IC's In a VERY Small PCB

    Hi guys for the GDDR5 memory you have a mirror function, you need to set some pull-ups and stuff but it can be done :). I think for other type or RAMs you have something similar... there are several things you can do to improve your density, as mentioned above you can increase the layer count...

    variable list in HFSS

    hi Randy in the menu, go to HFSS-> Design Properties there you will find the list of all the variables you have defined and you can change the value and the units. I hope this is what you are looking for :) -D

    Crosstalks simulation tools ?

    in SIWave you can simulate the PKG of a chip, you can use also HFSS and Q3D from Ansoft. if you go for any of these directions, you should use the Ansoft Links tool to import your bondwires/solderballs/layout/etc. For higher freq you should use HFSS, if your structure is electrically short...

    PCB Resonance Analysis

    resonance analysis of pcb Hi N.Raghavan as the interconnections in a PCB are made of copper and with a fixed distance from ground (return path), they have RLC components and it can act as a tank circuit with an specific resonance frequency (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LC_circuit), when you...

    Need suggestions of new methods for cross talk analysis

    Re: cross talk you can try Peak Distortion Analysis... and simulate in spice... :) hope this helps -D

    Signal Integrity question...

    well, the first step is to know what are you going to design and the general speed buses. then you should know if you have any manufacturing constraints (such as lead free assembly, HF compliance, overall thickness, etc.) with that in mind you select a material (typically, your first selection...

    PCB Resonance Analysis

    resonance analysis I know SIWave from Ansoft can perform this kind of simulations, unfortunately I don't know much about it... also you can use Links (also from ansoft) and export your board file from Allegro to ansoft utilities (in this case SIWave)... hope this helps -D

    Track length of clk signal in high-speed designing

    high speed data lines length tolerance Hi, There is a rule of thumb that says clock signals should be routed as short as possible, that is partially true, as dipnirvana said, it depends on the slew rate and frequency. The best way to go is to perform a line length sweep analysis in spice...
